-When we looked in depth-Pearson's leveled readers offer a higher text complexity and higher interest level since they were not contrived to meet a certain level in order to be equitable
-Pearson, as well as Wonders offers flexible resources and digital aspects (interactive, video, audio)

I agree with Jenn.

Pearson

· From the texts that I reviewed, I think Pearson has higher quality literature.

McGraw Hill

· better online support

· families can access literature at home

We need to consider how we are going to differentiate for learners with leveled readers.

- online resources with home/family access

- The literature is high quality
- The manual seemed a little tricky to follow, but I would like a little more time to explore a lesson to see if it is more user-friendly than I initially thought]]> 2019-06-11 00:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366822084 Hesitation - Kathy Steinour (LF at LE) https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366931416 I have hesitation in suggesting one program meets our needs more so than the other. I do feel that our grade level teams know what they need and want and are our best experts in terms of making choices for their individual grade levels. However, I also am concerned that we haven't had enough time to review the programs sufficiently enough across grade levels to ensure completeness of programming as well as perfect alignment (utilizing the expertise of our reading ladies.) With that said, if we are simply using the programming as one of many tools in our classroom instruction, that might not necessarily be our greatest concern.

Of course, I am always thoughtful about our struggling readers and what a program will offer them as well, especially at the primary level. It is my hope that we would explore and consider their needs as we make further decisions regarding the components of the program that we place at high priority for purchase, regardless of the program chosen.

I do want to add that I have had personal experiences recently with working through customer service with Pearson and it really was not a positive experience initially. Once I was connected to John (our initial speaker from Pearson and our Warwick sales rep), things turned around for the better. Just another thing to consider in the decision making process.]]> 2019-06-11 13:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366931416 Beth Chad https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966728 2019-06-11 15:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966728 Beth Chadwick https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966729 2019-06-11 15:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966729 Beth Chadwick (Gr https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966730 2019-06-11 15:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966730 Beth Chadwick (Gr 3) https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966731 2019-06-11 15:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966731 Beth Chadwick (Gr 3 https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966732 2019-06-11 15:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966732 Beth Chadwick (Gra https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966733 2019-06-11 15:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966733 Beth Chadwick (Gra https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966775 2019-06-11 15:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966775 Beth Chadwick https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966776 2019-06-11 15:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966776 Beth Chad https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966777 2019-06-11 15:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966777 Beth Chadwick (Gr 3 https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966778 2019-06-11 15:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966778 Beth Chadwick (Gr https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966779 2019-06-11 15:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966779 Beth Chadwick (Gr 3) https://padlet.com/ryan_berardi/7yso99gle5gi/wish/366966780 PA Core Aligned
